I can't stand it anymore! I have no one! The last time I remember having a friend was when I was 10 years old. Yes I haven't had a single friendship (big or small) in 7 years. I have absolutely no one. The internet is my only escape. I'm in counseling, and on medication, but I'm so lonely... I just want someone who understands me and would hang out with me despite my social anxiety. I can't stand having every day go by without anyone.... I'm finished with school, and I'm too scared to work, everything seems so hopeless....
aw D: Maybe you could join a quiet club like reading club or historical club or a small group that meets once or twice every week. Look through the newspaper for adds or look at community notice boards at malls. Hopefully you'll find friends to whom you can relate and start meeting up with them outside of the club and start your own social circle. Start off small
I know how you feel. I'm getting couseling and am being put on medication soo. I also dont have friends. But you can talk to me on here of you want, im new so i need someone to talk to =]
Aw. I'd like to say that I know how you feel and try and give you some comfort, but I think that'd be a lie, and I don't want to patronise or upset you.
However, friendships are a two way street, and unfortunately, you're not going to get anything done sitting about and wishing. I know social anxiety is hard and I know it's not just as easy as saying 'If you want that, you'll bloody stop whining, get up and go and talk to some people'.
But you definitely need to ease yourself into society more. Howabout, going to somewhere quiet with some music, sitting down in a park with a cup of coffee and a book, and being out for a while, and slowly work yourself up everyday going out and perhaps doing a bit of shopping or whatever, and being able to talk to people.
If you would like someone to talk to, I'm always on MSN (you can get my MSN address by clicking a box in my profile/below).
Aw, I hope you're okay.

i also have social anxiety.. i was put on homebound because of it.. although mine isnt quite as bad as yours i can somewhat understand what you are going through, if you ever need to talk, just pm me:)
If you have MSN I'm always willing to talk and try to make things better. I knew what it was like having no friends outside of the internet at one time. I hated it. But I couldnt trust anyone and it seemed like everyone was judging me, and I was afraid everyone wouldnt like me. I'm always here to talk. PM me if you need anything.
awwwwwwww
well to tmake friends just like start out by saying hi. you HAVE to have friends and i know you will. you can even make friendsd on the forum. dont you have any family members who have friends? or siblings? maybe be friends with their friends
